Austrinus It is the astronomy site of Farid Char.
This space was inaugurated on 11/25/2000 and its name means “austral” or “from the south” in Latin.
This name serves to better identify the origin of its contents, created from the Southern Hemisphere: 23°39' S and 70°25' W (Antofagasta, Chile).
In astronomy, the name is present in the constellation Pisces Austrinus.

When is it important to know how to apply the notions of celestial orientation? Relevant cases are described below, although in essence, you interact with your concepts all the time every time you observe the sky, being of great help to optimize time. 1st Case: Locate the South Celestial Pole through the constellation Cruz...
The amateur practices observational astronomy by painstakingly recording data. To do this, it is essential to know how to scrutinize the sky, using basic notions of celestial orientation. It is necessary to keep track of the observations and, if possible, also a graphic record (drawings or photographs). It is not essential to have a telescope or binoculars, although many people do…

This is my personal astronomy website, opened on 25/11/2000 and currently bearing the name 'Austrinus', which in Latin means "austral" or "southern", in order to better identify the origin and contents of the site, aimed primarily at observers from the Southern hemisphere, since I live at 23º39' S and 70º25' W (Antofagasta, Chile).…
A special case: telescopes for capturing radio waves (for amateur use) Radio astronomy is concerned with capturing the Universe in a completely different way than we are used to. Every time we see the stars during a starry night, or see an object through a telescope, what we are capturing is the “information…

A pulsar is a neutron star that emits periodic pulsating radiation. Pulsars were discovered in 1967 by Anthony Hewish and Jocelyn Bell at the Radio Astronomy Observatory in Cambridge. Its characteristic radio emission is a uniform series of pulses, spaced very precisely, with periods between a few milliseconds and several...
In the Universe there are an immense number of star systems, however not all of them are like our Solar System; In fact, a large majority of all existing stars do not make up a single star system like our sun (that is, with a single central star), but rather make up double, triple or multiple systems of stars,…
As stars exhaust their fuel, they begin to undergo processes within themselves that will slowly lead them to transform into a different object, which will be located outside the main sequence. The path that a star takes to become one or another object will depend almost exclusively on the initial mass of…
